Phoenix Green Drone Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Phoenix Green from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Phoenix Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

How a drone roof survey works in Phoenix Green
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. We don’t fly in strong wind or a downpour, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we will agree another day. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. Typical surveys look at debris building up in hidden gutters and cracked mortar along the ridge, across fragile roofs, large and complex roofs and chimney stacks.
Villages like Phoenix Green frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Phoenix Green
Will you come out to Phoenix Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Phoenix Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Tell us the exact address when booking
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. Drone photographs are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, especially in autumn. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
How the survey changes by roof type
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. Photos show how the covering is wearing.
Why get it checked now?
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. You can show exactly where the problem is. Older cottages and farmhouses around Phoenix Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Phoenix Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenfields Junior School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Phoenix Green?
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
